Florescent T1/T2

if you think flor couldnt hold her own in tier1/2 ur braindead and prob silver. shes a better shooter than 90% of franchised players, put her on a good team and she would do good in any league

"She got shit on in open quals"
demon1 got beat by complete randoms when he was in tier 3, people dont understand how much your supporting casts contributes to a duelist's ability to get kills flor has proven she can beat good players, she smurfed in funhavers on current (at the time) challengers teams and players

havoc is one of the best aimers in tier 1 yet is the lowest rated non igl in all of tier 1

idk if people say these things to bring hate and bait comments or just to troll but its weird

ah yes. shoot good = tier 1

y0y

good shooters in pro play is like water in the ocean, there is already countless good aimers that have also not gotten diffed in tier 2 open quals

y0y

y0y fan iq

FNS would 20-0 him

random ass bait 0/8

Flor standing a chance in t2 let alone t1 0/8 🤡🤡

no one is stopping this player to do it, but the smart decision would be miking the gc cash cow for 10 years more. Cause farm them bots

I think most people think she could hold her own, but the question is if she can do well imo. Personally, I think if she got signed by a t1 team, she would be placed on a senti/initiator role because there are just so many cracked duelists right now in t1 that it wouldn’t really justify flor replacing them. Like I can’t really think of a NA team where ANY player would replace a duelist.

Then, that brings the issue of importing. While other regions could use a duelist, I actually think that their own GC duelists are just as good as flor anyway, so no need to use an import on flor. The only regions where we might see flor as a duelist is EMEA or CN imo, but even then I doubt talent scouts there are looking for NA GC talent of all talents.

However, I do think she could fry in T2.

Tldr; flor is good but not good enough to merit a T1 duelist position, due to the oversaturation of duelists in T1, yet.

rare to see a more open minded and less heated discussion on this topic so i want to throw my 2 cents in

i think it's very hard to argue that flor's mechanics don't live up to franchised, however (like a lot of people have said) valorant tier 1 is at a stage where a strong mechanical foundation simply isn't enough anymore

ideally she ends up succeeding and performing well for her team or she ends up being another soulcas

Put Flor on a good team and that team is finishing dead last unless the other players drop 20+ every game lmao. No one is picking up a random t3/t4 player over the actually talented T2 players out there. Just because Flor farms some overpaid T4 gc players doesn't mean a T1/T2 team is picking Flor up.

alright lets say with a 0.00000000000000001% chance florscent has the mechanics whatever enough for T2/T1. GC is the only place where you survive with mechanics only.
T1/T2 needs
-brain (idk being in GC for couple years will provide good brain)
-teamwork (SR was majorly florscent go kill strat. That isn't how duelist works in T1. Might have worked in 2021 but 0 chance in 2025)
-atmosphere adaptation as most are offline (Florscent hated revealing face to public. T1/T2 has bigger crowd than GC)
-trashtalk (with such fragile mentality and being young, flroscent will be less immune to trashtalks)

Made a thread about this a while back but I can say it again. We don’t know what fluorescents mechanics looks like in tier 1 because he gets slapped around by randoms in open qualifiers. Even with a good team. Like we are making assumptions that he is going to a t1 team.. Going to stay in GC which is fine
